Rumor: 2024-2025 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Talk | The Slow Crawl to the Season

[UncleRisto]

Yeah, I've been smart enough to avoid ever actually seeing it, but know what it is. Which is a life win in itself.

No, you're not supposed to game the system like that.

You hear about it when you're twelve, even though you would have been like 25, you see it with the friend who told you in like a school or a library, and you're fine after that.

You're... completely fine after that... yeah.

 

[Peter Peckerwood]

What about the episode of Fear Factor that wasn’t allowed to be aired? That may have gotten me worse than 2G1C. The buddy who showed me that loved to call me and make donkey sounds or make them when he’d see me because of how I reacted to it. Eeeeeeeyyyawwwww

You just know that somewhere out there was a group whose reactions were like this:

When you see a guy vomit on two other guys in front of a laptop right after you walk in to a barracks room. That's all you need to know.

Sometimes you just gotta take the win lol.

If Georgiev+Foudy+2nd gets it done for Gibson 50% retained I’m doing it no questions asked. I’d also probably look to get Annunen to the minors or get a more reliable 3G.

 

[BobRossColton]

What would be the price for Cossa?

 

[landstuhltaylor]

I never thought a thread on this board would remind me of Mr Hands but here we are.

He is the best fixer.

If Gibson gonna come back and be healthy, I’d take him over Blackwood. Gibson could do really well with the Avs. He’s been stuck with a bad Ducks teams for a while and still put up decent numbers. Other than the last 2 seasons, he has had 900 + save percentage with the Ducks. Give him a healthy full Avs lineup and I think he’d be great

Seeya next year, Cal.

We need him to get a clue in the D-zone and to battle harder for pucks in the OHL before he becomes an effective regular.

Don't want him ending up as NewJostChie

He seems like a smart kid, I hope he sees what he still needs to do to become an effective NHLer. He clearly has some good tools, and gets himself in good positions, but there’s still weaknesses that are going to be the difference maker for him

I guess any upgrade over Georgiev will be fine, but I want Gibson. Blackwood will be an upgrade too I suppose.

 

[The Pwnerer]

Please find a way to swap Georgiev for Gibson + retention. I would take that gamble 10/10 times. Gibson has been absolutely shelled over the past few years and is the only reason the Duck games weren't blowouts. Easy to envision a path where he has positive regression with us.

Yeah, I want Gibson with retention, too.

 

[the_fan]

Georgiev is probably done in the NHL after this season. His contract is up and I don’t know what team will sign him. He might be heading to KHL, unless he’s willing to sign for cheap and be a back up somewhere

 

[Bone Breaker]

given how bad are these options, my plan would be

1- keep playing Georgiev until he is completely broken and demoralized.
2- reach Nabokov and offer him all the money he wants, in order to leave the KHL right now.
3- make an agreement with Metallurg to send them Georgiev and receive Nabokov.

profit.

 

[Bender]

We're totally going to get the tandom that powered the juggernaut 2023-2024 Sharks!

So Friedman speculates our options may be two guys who haven't been good in 4-5 years? We're so ****ed.

To be fair, Blackwood was able to rock a .899 sv % on a massive tire fire team in San Jose last year in 44 starts.

That's actually pretty good when you consider the strength of the team.

When you compare that to Geogiev's .897 last year and we had a pretty solid team - the difference is night and day.

Those New Jersey teams his first 4 years in the league were not very good. By the time they finally improved the Defense, they had already decided to replace him with Vanecek.

I actually like Blackwood and to me his acquisition would feel a lot like Kuemper's. Big goalie on a bad team who's brought in and not asked to be a frikkin' savior but a guy who can be solid and give you a chance to win.

Don't know what the cost would be but you have to think that it would be less than Gibson with retention and less risky since Blackwood is a UFA after this season.

I have no problems with Georgiev being in the NHL next season. As long as it is for another team. In fact, I'd kinda of like it if another team in the Central took a chance on him next season.

He'd shut us down every. single. time.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

[edit...On second thought, that might not be such a great idea after all.]

 

[Sea Eagles]

Can I ask a question?

DO people still have it in them to support a turn around for Georgiev? Like if he started to light it up shortly, would we be behind him, or has he burnt your faith entirely?

For the record, I'm really hoping and rooting for him to turn things around. He has my absolute and full support (but that doesn't mean I don't think things could be better from him right now).

Everything is crossed for a Return of the Georgiev (episode 5).

 

[lionsDen]

It’s a bad situation when you’re considering trading for either of those players.

Nope. Russel Wilson and georgiev players that I couldn’t run of town fast enough
